Cut them into small sections of 15 cm in length and make sure there are two or three buds on them. Then cut the upper end of the cuttings into a flat end and the lower end into an oblique end. This is not only convenient for identification but also beneficial for rooting.

After planting, water it appropriately and cover it with a thin layer of soil. It is best to cover the soil with grass to keep it fully moisturized. It will soon take root and sprout.
